Poudre Landmarks Foundation's mission is to preserve, restore, protect, and interpret the architectural and cultural heritage of the Fort Collins area. PLF accomplishes this mission through the care and management of Historic Landmark sites owned by the City of Fort Collins (1879 Avery House and 1883 Water Works), and by providing educational programs and events focused on early life in Fort Collins.

Thank you for Attending The 34th Annual Historic Homes Tour

Thank you for joining us on the 34th Annual Historic Homes Tour! This year’s tour opened six private residences and two city-owned properties to the public, each exquisitely maintained to pay tribute to the era and architecture of the homes and properties. This year’s featured homes ranged in style from Victorian to Mid-Century Modern. Guests toured the homes while knowledgeable docents guided attendees while pointing out historical and architectural highlights. A new feature saw the Northern Colorado Plein Air Painters painting in open air at each property and hosting a pop-up gallery. For more information on this year’s tour, click below.
